I've done a lot of research I've read a lot of books I've turned a lot of pages I've seen some dirty looks But I can brave the weather For a chilly glance from you 'Cause somewhere in the distance The sun is peeking through
I've always been a flower I've always been a tree A cabin in the forest A blanket on the beach Never in my whole life Would I choose just one I've always loved the moonlight I've always felt the sun
Somewhere in the middle Of a sunset and a dream Is the prettiest gardenia The prettiest gardenia The prettiest gardenia That you've ever seen
